Over the years, it evolved into an outstanding surveillance and anit-surface platform, effective not only against submarines but also large and small surface ships. Learn about the aircraft's role in Operation Desert Storm and how lessons learned impacted the Viking's mission during latter pat of 1990's and 2000's.

An intimate wedding and overnight stay in the Olivia Rose Suite

We were married on New Year's Eve at the Inn with a fairly short notice and a minimal amount of planning. Bonnie (owner) was delightful and accommodating to make our Intimate ceremony at The Noble Manor very special. She had great suggestions to ensure the family and photographer had appropriate seating and view of the ceremony. The home was beautifully decorated which made an absolutely amazing backdrop for our pictures. She also made us feel very welcomed as she was an excellent conversationalist throughout our stay. The Olivia Rose Suite was immaculate and perfect for first night together as a married couple, and we enjoyed having our own bathroom with a nice tub big enough for the two of us. Another perk to The Noble Manor was that we were in walking distance to the Downtown Pensacola nightlife/festivities on New Year's Eve. I am definitely looking forward to future stays at this fine establishment.
